To Low in Carbs?

Are you taking a good multi-vitamin? I get Anemic just prior to my TOM.....if I don't stay on top on taking iron or my multi right before my TOM I will get extremely tired, feel cranky and out of sorts. Could be low iron?

Upcoming Races:

September 2013-Brooksie Half Marathon....my 5th time doing it and my 6th half marathon!

Thanks...I'm trying to maintain but it would be nice to lose 10 pounds on the scale,but I dont think its possible...I'm pretty lean already at 16-17% bodyfat with Calipers. I'm not sure how accurate they are? My pants from 5 years ago are snug in the thighs and upper butt area so its possible that I may need to lose 10 pounds. For Fat loss it says on one website I need 1600-1700 cal. to lose. Does this sound about right? Thanks for helping me!!! I just got done with a Run and feel more better,a little more energy.

That could be not eating enough...Here is a look at my exercise for last week...I eat around 1500-1800 Calories..Yeah.... its been 40% carbs,30% fat and Protein...I agree I dont think its the Carbs...I'm guessing its my Period time or Calories? I use to workout more but had lower the minutes and been trying to increase my intensity more!!!

For Heartrate I'm using the Karnoven Method

Monday: 6 mile Power Walk(HR-120-123(50%),legs,inner thighs on my own Minutes-90

Tuesday: 5 1/2(50 min.) miles Steady Run(HR-154-160(75%-80%), Abs Only with Cathe Butts and Gutts,hamstrings,butt squeezes on my own Minutes-79

I don't know for sure... if you are tired you could be too low on carbs and/or protein. I'm not a real fan of low carb eating. I like oatmeal and whole wheat pasta too much. Although that isn't to say I don't occasionally have a low carb meal. My carbs are slightly lower than spark recommends, though. Around 200 grams/day. But, I eat a minimum of 100 grams of protein/day also...

But wanted to try the 40/30/30...so I have been trying this the last past week but feel a bit weak and tired,and hard to perform,I wonder if my carbs are to low or maybe it is from time of the month. I have also been doing lots of High intensity workouts so this can be the problem. I would like more definition for the front of my thighs so I thought lowering my carbs a bit. Hmm...... TY!
